RIDGELAND, Miss.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--C Spire Wireless, the only U.S. wireless provider that offers a suite of
personalized services, announced today that it will soon introduce new
plans that allow customers to share data across multiple devices without
the worry about surprise bills.

“Now
customers get the ultimate in personalization through the ability to
choose up front the plan they want and the price that best fits how they
use their phone along with the flexibility of sharing a single data
allowance across multiple devices”

The SHARED Data plans allow customers to share a single data allowance
on up to 10 devices without costly fees to monitor data usage and avoid
overages. The plans include unlimited talk, text and picture messaging
on the nation’s only personalized network. Video streaming and mobile
hotspot service are included in the SHARED Data plans at no additional
charge.

C Spire’s game-changing SHARED Data plans debut on December 3 and will
be available to both new and existing customers who want the simplicity,
convenience and hassle-free option of sharing one data plan on up to 10
feature phones, smartphones, tablets, modems and other connected devices
with no subsequent bill surprises.

“As part of our long-standing commitment to keep the customer in control
of their wireless experience and to offer competitive, no overage plans,
our SHARED Data plans offer simple, easy and worry-free options to share
data without concern about costly, surprise bills,” said Suzy Hays,
senior vice president for Brand Management and Personalization. “Whether
choosing our industry-leading CHOICE plans or SHARED Data plans, you
know that you’re always getting the most personalized plan that best
fits how you use your phone, smartphone or other wireless device.”

Using SHARED Data Plans

Customers can start using one of C Spire’s SHARED Data plans by
selecting their devices and choosing a plan that includes unlimited
talk, text, picture messaging and a shared data allowance that starts at
1 GB for $50. Monthly line access costs included $20 for USB modems,
tablets and other connected devices, $30 for feature phones and $40 for
smartphones. Customers can choose shared data allowances ranging from
$50 a month for 1 GB up to $150 for 20 GB. Larger quantities of monthly
shared data can be purchased if needed.

As with most of its personalized experiences and plans, C Spire
conducted research with its Circle and Inner Circle forums, a community
of customers who provide their opinion and help shape their wireless
experiences, in developing the suite of new SHARED Data plans. “Now
customers get the ultimate in personalization through the ability to
choose up front the plan they want and the price that best fits how they
use their phone along with the flexibility of sharing a single data
allowance across multiple devices,” Hays said.

Unlike other wireless providers that charge customers $5 per line to
monitor usage and automatically impose a $15 per GB charge each time
users go 1 KB over their monthly shared data allowance, C Spire alerts
customers and offers them simple and easy to understand options to
purchase - or “top up” - their data allocation with more affordable
shared data passes as needed throughout the month. The passes, unique to
C Spire, start at $10 for 500 MB and range up to $75 for 5 GB.

Similar monthly shared data plans also are available for business
customers ranging from 1 GB for $50 up to 70 GB for $600. Businesses who
share a data plan with more than 10 devices are subject to monthly
minimum data purchase requirements. Additional shared data passes also
can be purchased as needed throughout the month, Hays said.

Switching to a SHARED Data+ Plan

In keeping with C Spire’s long standing policy, customers can add or
switch to a new SHARED Data plan without additional fees as there is no
fee or contract extension required to make the move. C Spire will help
customers choose the best SHARED Data or CHOICE plan option.

Choice Plans Personalized for You

The Choice plan structure is an industry first, allowing C Spire
customers the flexibility to personalize their individual voice and data
plan based on their personal needs. “We’re staying true to offering fair
and easy-to-manage plans that are created with our customers in mind,”
Hays said. “Customers choose their personalized plan features up front
and know their monthly bill in advance, giving them unmatched value and
the freedom to use their phones without worry or overages.”

C Spire’s Choice D smartphone plans for individuals range from $60 to
$80 a month for nationwide voice, text, pictures and mobile web. The
Choice D+ plans, which range from $80 to $100 a month, include streaming
in addition to the other features for individuals. Family plans are also
available with similar features and personalized options.
